New Delhi, 19th Dec. A total of 49 Members of Parliament in Lok Sabha were suspended from the House on Tuesday for causing disruptions during proceedings. This action came just a day after 78 opposition members were suspended from Parliament.
The MPs who were suspended on Tuesday include Farooq Abdullah from the National Conference, Shashi Tharoor, Karti Chidambaram and Manish Tewari from the Congress party, and Dimple Yadav from the Samajwadi Party.
Other MPs who faced suspension from Lok Sabha were Supriya Sule from the NCP, S Jagathrakshakan and DNV Senthil Kumar from the DMK, Giridhari Yadav from the JD(U), Danish Ali from the BSP (who was already suspended), and Sushil Kumar Rinku from the AAP.
Pralhad Joshi, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, accused the protesting members of being “frustrated” due to the recent assembly election results while presenting a motion for their suspension.
“INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament on December 13. They had agreed not to bring placards. They are frustrated with their loss, so taking such steps. These people will not come back to the House next time if this behaviour continues,” Joshi said.
“They are insulting the chair and the people of India by bringing placards,” he said.
As protests continued, the House was adjourned till 2 pm.
In an unprecedented move, 78 opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament on Monday, the highest number of suspensions in a single day, drawing sharp criticism from the Congress and other parties that accused the BJP government of trying to bulldoze key legislations in an “Opposition-less” Parliament.
An additional 49 Lok Sabha members were suspended on Tuesday for disrupting House proceedings. INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the security breach in Parliament on December 13.
The action taken on Tuesday has brought the total number of suspended opposition MPs from both houses to 141 since last Thursday. AAP member Sanjay Singh has been suspended as a Rajya Sabha member since July 24.
